About the route
The route starts in Kvasy in Zakarpattia and ends in Bystritsa in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. It crosses a large part of the Svydivets massif, then follows the headwaters of the Chorna Tysa and enters Gorgany. It can also be done in the opposite direction, but the ascent of Velyka Bratkivska from the Kvasy side is steep. After rain, it can be muddy and slippery there.
On Svydivets, the route passes the mountains Stara, Pereslip, Mala Blyznytsia, Blyznytsia (1872 m), Velyka Blyznytsia (1883 m), Zhandarmy, Krachuniesku, Heryshaska, Troiaska and Tataruka. There is enough water and plenty of places for tents. Near Zhandarmy there is a flat place to stay overnight, but there is no spring nearby. Near the Ripta Apshynetska meadow there is water and space for several tents.
In the Gorgany section, the route goes via Velyka Bratkivska (1788 m), Hropa and Durnia, then to the Pantyr meadow and Bystritsa. Note: after Bratkivska, the trail may be overgrown with dwarf pine in places. There are also forest sections with roads damaged by logging trucks. The traverse of Durnia is suitable for an overnight stay; there is water there.
